I'm having trouble with Ouroboros, the final boss. I can find her easily, but my current Echelons can't defeat her.
I'm using a AR/SMG squad to clear general enemies, a RF/HG to defeat armored and boss, and a single HG for vision and extra moves. My AR team functions fine, even against most of the weaker armored foes. My RF team is as follows.
4xSV-98 lv74
4xM-14 lv73
4xSpringfield lv71
2xGr Mk23 lv 46
4xSTEN MkII lv 71
- 50 Eva, 632 HP
I have sufficient AP for my RFs that it should be irrelevant. Springfield is using her special ammo. The RFs are equipped with Crit Rate Scopes as not to reduce their fire rate. The RFs have affecting >=95, but no oath.
However my tank (STEN) is getting killed before reaching the boss, so by the time I reach it I only have the RFs and hopefully the HG.
How much HP does Ouroboros have? The "guide" seems to have the stats for Ouroboros Elite (150k HP), but I assume ours is the normal Ouroboros. Assuming dmg = Sum(FP*SklMultiplier*HGBuffs), assuming both survive SV-98 and Springfield would deal 92*3.7*1.22 + 93*4.3*1.22 = 903.
If you can't tell, their FP stat isn't the max for the level, and the skill level is not maxed out either. If I did, the damage would be around 50% more. Would it be viable to train them more and use a small bamboo to burst down the boss? Should I replace STEN or M14 for 2xMakarov for 10% dmg? Should I train up my 3xNTW-20 for a large-ish bamboo? I only have the copies of SV-98 and M-14 for more links, otherwise I would need to use cores.
The answer to your problem is in your description. STEN is not around for the Ouroboros fight so your echelon gets wrecked before KOing Ouro.
I am not an expert but I have cleared Operation Cube and E-4 specifically, 30+ times. The team doing the heavy lifting is 3AR, 1SMG (STEN actually), 1HG (Mk23).
A rifle team is to slow to deal with the unarmored mobs you run into on E-4, resulting in STEN being KO'ed before the final fight. I would change your strategy.
Does your rifle have a crit cape equipped? Your team runs as fast as your slowest unit and crit capes slow you down
Unequip your crit capes while fighting against ouroboros or you'll get splattered before reaching her every time
A bit late, as I already cleared Operation Cube. The main problem was the stats weren't upgraded enough, even if the level is high. I leveled them to around Lv80 and enhancement capsule-d to full. A side note, at the time my RFs were unable to equip capes anyway (need lv80 to equip).
A small bamboo is workable, going from 50->25 skipping one activation of Ouroboros' skill
